The Election Commission Tuesday night ordered re-polling in 27 polling booths in seven Lok Sabha seats of Madhya Pradesh, including the high-profile Guna seat, from which Congress leader and scion of Gwalior royal family Jyotiraditya Scindia is contesting. The EC was taking action, following alleged booth-capturing, damage done to electronic voting machines and other incidents during Monday's voting.

The re-polling is to be held Wednesday between 7 am and 5 pm at the booths in Bhind, Gwalior, Guna, Hoshangabad, Vidisha, Rajgarh and Ujjain parliamentary constituencies, the state election office said.

Re-polling would be held at 10 booths in Guna, followed by eight in Bhind, four in Gwalior, two in Rajgarh and one each in Hoshangabad, Vidisha and Ujjain, it said.
